How do you all deal with customers who are really quiet? I know that some do not have social skills, while others simply do not wish to speak with you.
For instance, I went up to this one customer who appeared to be very interested in me while I was dancing onstage. I approached him with a smile, introduced myself, asked his name and asked if he was having fun. I might have slipped one or two more questions/comments in, but he barely had anything to say. I wanted to get up and leave right away because I felt awkward and like a boring person just sitting there. (I didn't want other customers to think that I was boring because with some people, the conversation flows great...there are just a select few with whom I can't converse.) On the other hand, I did not want to get up because I felt like that would be rude after just sitting down with him.
Basically, my questions are
1. How can you differentiate between a customer who has bad social skills vs. one that truly does not want to be bothered with you?
2. Would it be rude to get up and leave the table?
3. Do I appear to be boring if I do not speak to someone and just watch other girls dance?
4. How do I leave the table in a "nice" way?

! Yes, I do ask if people want company, but sometimes I feel as though they really don't care...so they don't want me there, nor do they NOT want me there. I think that I think too much about it all. lol. Thanks again for your responses
